Can anyone rent construction equipment?

Yes. You don't need a contractor's license, previous experience, or special certifications to rent most equipment. A valid ID and credit card are all that's required. Training is provided with every rental.

Will someone show me how to use the equipment?

Absolutely. Every rental at Beehive includes hands-on training covering operation, controls, safety features, and tips specific to your project. Ask as many questions as you need.

What if I damage rental equipment?

Normal wear and tear is expected and covered. For accidental damage, rental insurance (damage waiver) is available for a small daily fee and is recommended for first-timers. Without a waiver, you're responsible for damage costs.

How much does equipment rental cost for homeowners?

Equipment rental costs vary by machine type and rental duration. Beehive Equipment offers daily, weekly, and monthly rates on all equipment. Contact BeeHive at (435) 773-4000 for current pricing on excavators, skid steers, compactors, and more.

What if I don't have a truck to transport equipment?

Beehive offers delivery throughout Southern Utah. Equipment arrives at your property ready to use and is picked up when you're done. Delivery fees vary by distance and equipment size.

Do I need insurance to rent equipment?

Some equipment requires proof of insurance or purchase of rental insurance. Your homeowner's insurance may provide coverage. Rental insurance is available if you don't have coverage.

How far in advance should I reserve equipment?

For popular equipment (excavators, skid steers) during busy seasons (spring, fall), reserve a few days to a week ahead. For most other equipment, same-day rental is often available.
